by Caroline Parker

Upcoming exhibitions at FiveMyles

Fall 2010 and Spring 2011


September 9 – October 10, 2010
Three Artists – New Work
Karni Dorell, Derek A. Haffar, Tony Whitfield
The work exhibited shows a wall of hundreds of small, photographed figures engaged in everyday activities; plaster casts of canvases, bent and broken that tell of the artist’s perplexity at the apparent lack of boundaries in contemporary art, and large fragmented photographs commenting on the affections of a culturally diverse family in the face of metastatic cancer.

October 16 – December 12, 2010
Art/Sewn
Group Show with 12 artists, Curated by Ward Mintz
Final artists to be announced
The exhibition will focus on work where sewing is integral to the making and looking experience–sewing on woven fabric, on paper, felt and skins; sewing as an artistic means, as expression, as feminist statement. This will be the first exhibition at FiveMyles to examine the role of sewing in the production of contemporary art.

February 17 – March 27, 2011
